I just saw that. Man, the Hawks inactivity is really starting to worry me. Most of the top guys are getting signed. Hayward (ex-Bronco) just signed with the Jags, Pierce (ex-Redskin) signed with Giants, and now Lucas (ex-Hawk)signs with Carolina. All three could have helped our D. Plus now there's talk that Anthony Simmons will be released. Someone is asleep at the wheel in Hawkville. They better step up and sign Ty Law or Samari Rolle to replace Lucas. So far all they've done is offer contracts to those who kept getting beat in games by the Rams and the Cowboys (The Berriera, Richards, Manuels). While other teams are signing starters, the Hawks are signing benchwarmers. Hmmm... Do they really want to win? Is there any hope left?

im so pissed about da hawks FA signings ...THEYVE DONE NUTHIN and now the rams got cockly (SP) and claiborne(SP)
we r goin get dominated by da rams next year....i got no hope ne more and i relli dont care cuz we can do horrible next year and get a top 10 draft pick

people relax...the rams got dexter whos like 33...and claiborn isnt a bad pick up but he isnt great...will lucas leaving hurt us? yea...but look at NE...you dont necessarily have to have great cbs...and especially for the price he was going. supposedly the hawks are talkin to cb renaldo hill of arizona...and with simmons i mean he rarely played last year and had attitude issues off the field...were tryin to get those people out..dont be surprised if SA gets shipped elsewhere either...ruskell knows what hes doin here...lets go get hartwell now

the pats secondary isn't that great but their front seven i think isn't too shabby! we'll sign someone, ithink that we were trying to be conservative cuz now we have to overpay someone big. I just hope its someone young like hartwell, trotter is strong but he's alittle older and will want a lng term deal. lucas i think is going t hurt but ty law has a few more probowls in him. bottom line is he knows how to win. pay him. trade alexander for surtain? option? one way to look at it is that there's GOT TO BE some changes now. shake things up. lets see how committed to winning we are!

It'd be awesome if we can get Hartwell. I definitely would feel better about things. They need to move quickly if they want him because he's close to signing with KC from what I hear. I'm not sold on Richard (It's the one point I disagree with "Shonuff" on). I don't know why everyone thinks he's a good corner. What has he done to indicate that? I agree you need depth and special teams to win. We had good special teams until they got rid of Pete Rodriguez as a coach. It went down hill from there. Now I think we got a decent coach in Bob Casullo and that should help. We really need to evaluate our linebackers. I think that is the one area that is the weakest on the team. We have no depth there. Kaz sucks as a linebacker but is a great special teams player. He misses so many tackles it just frustrates me. He's from Harvard, so he must be somewhat intelligent. The first thing they teach you about tackling is to wrap the opponent. He must have missed that lesson. I know I'm nitpicking but I'm tired of being mediocre. It's time to stop hearing about how talented the hawks are and start living up to it.

Hawksfan68, you'e absolutely right,after they let simmons go they HAVE TO sign Hartwell. Period. If not then what? who's left? so we cut simmons. ok. who's next on the depth chart? dd lewis? Im scratching my head there. package him and ship him off. he's fast as hell. At least get a special teamer for him. a holder anything. somebody out there wouldn't take a fast olb? Richard is not the answer. get surtain get law get somebody. but hey, maybe richard could come on like lucas? is it a contract year maybe? Dear Mr. Allen......get out your checkbook. you overpay underacheivers, you may as well overpay some all-pros.

haha gibbons...good call...i want hartwell more than anyone out there...if not him look at kendrell bell...defensive rookie of the year in 2001...we had to let simmons go because he had a bad attitude and we want to get away from that mode of people...id lvoe to get surtain as well...hes had more ints than anyone over the last 5 years...hartwell, surtain and ill be saitisfied...add a de (or resign chike) ill be more than satisfied

im all 4 trimming the sttitudes for sure, but the top of the draft isn't that great or lb's but there are a lot of great values this year 2-5 if we play our cards right. we could have got something for him is all. im glad we are making a statement for sure. is nate wayne still out there or did the eagles sign him back? all miami wants a 2nd. do it. we cant draft a top cb there. he's less expensive than law. hes under 30, how many years is he under contract and what is his cap #? anyone? anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Well said. Thank you, jer gibbons. I heard on the radio that the Cardinals are making a big push to get Hartwell. He's planned a visit there. Let's prevent a division foe from getting him by nabbing him quickly. Kendrell Bell could be a vable option, he's young, tenacious, and hopefully his injuries are behind him. But I feel he's going to resign again with the Steelers. As for the CB, I'd love Surtain here but who would we trade? Miami's not interested in Alexander now that we tagged him as franchise player. They feel they can get Ronnie Brown with #2 pick. Maybe they're interested in dealing for Robinson? That would be soooo cool.

saban is high on his guy at lsu corey webster. he'll be there in mid to maybe late second. all miami wants is a 2nd for surtain. thing is we could get SA's replacement with that pick. we'd better move or we're reallly done. we need help. you gotta try to get hutch signed long term somewhere in there too.
